In the 'News' (02m50s), Mac and Linux Civilization VI players get surprised surprised with the release of the game's Rise and Fall expansion pack the month after their Windows brethren, but there's a catch; then, a typo invoking an English language idiom leads to 'messing' with the 'priorities' of the game's Artificial Intelligence... but to what end? Under the 'Open Mic' (19m03s), two-time guest co-host Brandon 'bcaiko' Keith Hallmark calls, and messages, the show's panel for their take on his disappointment that is the base game of CivVI and whether or not its RandF expansion pack could compel him to return to the title. Then under 'Miscellaneous' (41m05s), in February, Civilization VI: Rise and Fall Senior Producer Andrew Frederiksen and Lead Designer Anton Strenger chart the course of its development from earliest prototype to commercial release.
